• Remembering Esi Nana Ama Mensah-Bonsu · 1y ago

  Childhood friend and cousin

  Esi and I shared a bunk at our grandmother's house in Anomabu. She would read the anatomy book at night by torch and test me on bones. I never learned them, but I learned what a calling looks like. Rest, my dear cousin.

• Remembering Elizabeth Araba Mensah-Bonsu · 6y ago

  Former pupil, now a lawyer in Washington, DC

  She told a shy fourteen-year-old that the debating society needed a captain. I said I could not talk in front of people. She said, 'Then you will learn.' I have argued before the courts of three countries since. Thank you, Mama Araba.
